victor

PLEASE NOTE: This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to Massachusetts shortly with no additional travel costs. Roughly 90% of our dogs are adopted prior to their transport up to MA and 10% are adopted locally.Meet Victor! Victor is approximately 8 years old, 20 lbs currently and he might have some Dachshund in his mix! In his foster home, he is working hard on his house training, crate training and leash walking. He could go to a home with kids 10+, and other small calm dogs. He has not been exposed to cats. He is initially shy particularly with men and needs a home that will give him time to settle in.His foster says, `Vic is very alert and notices everything. When we are out walking he’s aware of everything around us, often looking for a car when it’s blocks away. He watches my dogs and when he sees them doing something that elicits praise, he does the same thing. I have a room near my side door where we go out that has two steps up to it. My shih tzu goes up the steps up have his harness put on, and after observing this, Vic with no encouragement began to do the same thing. I do have a fenced yard, and he loves going out for a run with my dogs. He also enjoyed visiting a dog park with my dogs. He was always aware of my location and looked up frequently to make sure that I was there. He loves to snuggle and follows me from room to room when I’m cleaning, cooking, or doing laundry. When we go for walks, he matches his walking speed to mine and looks up frequently. The only times he pulls are when he sees a cat or a squirrel. Vic is a smart, sweet dog who just wants to be loved. When told he’s a good boy he wags his tail so hard that his whole back ends goes with it.`He is available for adoption in N Dartmouth mid to late January.
